I got the impression that the reason that Illinois sucked (relatively speaking) on defense was that their D-Line wasn't at all good, could get no pass pressure, no sacks etc. This left the D-Backfield with too much time to cover. Henry apparently deserves some of the overall blame in this...

My memory on Harry is not the same as the above. The Tennessee "fans" were stuck with a crummy head coaching admin who made life miserable for several of the assistants, essentially throwing them under the bus. Several assistants ran out of there. Harry came to ND so pissed at that that he once...

This kind of situation is so particular to the unique issues that no one (even our not-all-knowing-and-not-to-be-blamed-for-not-knowing-all staff) can predict future states at future times. The most likely thing is that everyone's "hopeful" (including the Big Stud), but no one can be sure of...

... or for some professions and injuries --> never

Some very ignorant ranting here. I read ten or more websites of big medical expertise on humerus breaks. Each breakage, as any person with a brain should immediately see, is different ... possibly wildly so. For a normal person who is looking for a normal return to life, the three month bone...

At Coach's age, this is about nothing "football." It is about his life and its relationship with The Lord. Lou was very kind to my Mom when I wrote to tell him about my Dad's passing, and wrote a personal note of loving nature. For that, he got a smile from her and from God. He'll be fine in Heaven.

I agree mostly with that. For the "fun" of it though (re: boys and girls and Bball), I'll repeat a comment made to me by one of my brothers, who was an award-winning high school coach of teams of both genders. He told me that it was his experience that you could have a couple of guys who...

Yes. Ivey can be "forgiven" for not winning the championship even with that All-Star crew because sooner or later some big thug team would have put our girls on the bench (with fouls) or the hospital (a reason why King was such an unsung heroine), and consequently rebounded our brains out. There...

You, of course, WOULD "ride" with Hannah, but NOT to the exclusion of TEAM involvement in the offense. Fabulous talent is one thing, but even Caitlin Clark (the ultimate ball-hogger) was better for Iowa when there was a center in the paint hugely involved with the offense. I fear that we are...

Obviously my mention of Harrison Smith was only for its intrigue and good feeling value -- BUT, Smith was FAMOUSLY the coach-on-the-field organizing all the DBS and LBs pre-snap, and renown as an intuitive all-over-the-field playmaker. (including blitz techniques, timing, etc.) The guy kind of...

How about Harrison Smith?

I have no desire to see ANY SEC even close to the title game. WHY WOULD WE? Screw those ______. They RAN football for more than a decade; give them nothing. For me, the perfect last two games would be over Ohio State and Indiana. (and who the hell wants USC back in national contention...

Well, we can't be scared of a "very good" Miami; instead we should welcome that. With the apparent mediocrity of our schedule, we need to: A. beat a Top Ten or Fifteen Miami; hell, we essentially beat a better Miami this year; B. beat other "good" ACC teams (like, hopefully SMU and Syracuse...

Watching Illinois (16-3) playing a bit. Names keep being mentioned. "Stoyakovic" "Ivisic" "Petrovic" "Ivisic 2" "Mirkovic" --- uhh ... scouting Balkan Basketball HEAVY? All of them play. Two are over seven foot. Two others 6'7" and 6'9". Throw in two Indiana guys and a Kansas guy and you can...

Poster #359, warning ....

Fullback

... or at least colliding with the receiver. Anything but watching.

I think that I wrote this before somewhere on this site, but (in my opinion): A. A LOT of the college football world dislikes Notre Dame intensely (both Greg McElroy and Joe Klatt both said that bias pretty clearly when they came to ND this season to interview Freeman et al. They both basically...

Pyne=Rees? ... Uh, no. ... ATTITUDE. BRAINS. AND a better Arm. Why would anyone say Pyne=Rees? One assumes that the sentence writer isn't a moron, so what's the motivation? Especially since it seems to be embedded in a crusade to smear a guy who did Notre Dame a fine football service. How...

Another moment for meditation: Came across the women's LSU game on TV today. The 6th ranked LSU team has a starting center who looked very good. Better than a mere spot player by far, and conditioned well enough to run most of the game. Sophomore "star-to-come?" Kate Koval. ....... thankfully...
